Digital BW, The Print

If you really want to stay with glossy or luster surface (RC-type) papers, then I would recommend the standard UC Epson inks and a RIP. I've recently been evaluating ImagePrint; although only on matte papers. If you decide to pursue the RIP route, an IP eval is available for Mac or PC on Calumet Photographic's website.

Hope this helps.
